Skypipe

The SkyPipe EOS Link Enhancement for Secure Satellite (LESS) is a pocket-sized, USB-Powered SkyPipe hardware client designed to maximize data throughput over high-delay links, and is specifically designed for secure satellite links.-A simple "Plug and Play" device, the Skypipe hardware client includes features for enhanced data security, and is transparent to users and most applications. Secure Communications Link Optimization from AOS AOS SkyPipe Eos Link Enhancement for Secure Satellite (LESS) - The problems with sending Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) traffic over long-delay and high-bit error links - such as satellite links - are the result of a congestion control scheme that was designed for terrestrial networks. TCP requires that the destination host provide regular acknowledgements to the source to indicate that an error-free packet has successfully arrived. If the source does not receive an acknowledgement within a certain period of time of sending a packet, TCP will assume network congestion, and will decrease data throughput. In 2003, AOS introduced SkyPipe, a proprietary software application optimized for TCP traffic over secure satellite links, developed in conjunction with the AOS Outpost Communicator(OC) 256 system. AOS is pleased to introduce the SkyPipe Eos Link Enhancement for Secure Satellite (LESS) - a pocket-sized, USB-powered SkyPipe hardware client. SkyPipe Eos is a particularly timely solution for users of the new Inmarsat BGAN high-speed data service and ideally suited for users of Government encryption devices to secure their mobile networks. Eos Features IPSec compliant - AES 256-bit encryption Statefull Inspection Firewall Performance Enhancing Proxy (PEP) maximizes data throughput Prefetching and Caching On-the-fly compression Basic router functionality, including Network Address Translation (NAT) USB powered Small and lightweight On-board VPN capability affords an optional additional layer of security by double wrapping traffic.-The SkyPipe Eos client can be terminated to any Cisco PIX firewall.-Multiple options for user authentication are included.- The SkyPipe Performance Enhancing Proxy (PEP) supports mHTTP, HTTPS, FTP, SOCKS, and Protocol-independent Port Forwarding.-A simple, "plug and play- ” requires no proxy settings, SkyPipe Eos is transparent to users and to standard applications.
